Mark Thomas - The Manifesto

Comedian-activist Mark Thomas returns to Radio 4 for a new series of The Manifesto - the show where the audience suggest policies that will make the world a better place, and Mark finds out if they'd help or not.

- Any war that lasts longer than five years should be declared a draw.

- People who just stop in the middle of a busy street must legally be shoved.

- If a balding man has a pony tail, you are legally required to cut it off.

- Job seekers that have been looking for a job for more than 20 weeks should be considered for a job at the Job Centre.

- You should have a full refund on your train ticket if the train is delayed due to light drizzle.

- You can't have a surname that is also a forename (e.g. Thomas).

- No more than two terms for serving prime minister because, if you can't get your ideas out in 8 years, they're probably not worth getting out.

- From now on Chelsea Tractors (4x4 cars used in urban areas) have to be made entirely from plexiglass.

- MPs with an income from outside parliament should be made to wear the advertising logos like Formula 1 drivers.

- Every village and town highstreet should have at least one independently owned butcher, baker, grocer, bookshop, coffee shop, general store with subsidised rates... oh, and a nice post office.

- All Ofstead inspectors should be required to demonstrate, by actually teaching a class, how to implement their points for improvement.

- Re-instate Saint Monday. (Saint Monday details)

- Set a maximum wage.
